Speed
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,232 HTML elements
The page has 4,232 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 302 KiB11 images could be 302 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 836 KiB and 562 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
338 KiBAbout 338 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
209 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (209 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 35 KiBAbout 35 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 82 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 419 requests on a phone: media 1.9 MB (1), other files 1.4 MB (254) and scripts 1.1 MB (87). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.64 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.64 g of CO₂e: 196.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
10 tap targets too small

SEO

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://ralphchristian.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
